Nathan went to visit Nanna. He had a lovely time and came back with his uncle Rob's old matchbox car collection. The cars have been well used and loved, and the lad will certainly continue in that tradition.

Last day at the Festival, and we're all affected by the rain, the lad and his mum got caught on the way back from feeding the ducks.

Dad's second day at the Festival, and as a prelude we all went to an Indian restaurant. Nathan realy enjoyed the spicy popadoms, and the view afforded him of all the traffic going past.

Granny came today. Since the lad spent three days with granny and grandpa, he hasn't stopped mentioning their names. Nathan had a good day. Plenty of laughing and lummoxing.

Dad's going to the Reading Festival for the next three days, so mum's in charge.

Day 717

Today we went to Odds Farm Park with some of the Thursday group, and then on to a long-lost little friend of Nathan. The lad enjoyed both trips.

Nathan's starting to ask to be walked, although he's not going very far at the moment it's a step in the right direction.

On the drive home the lad was obviously very tired but didn't go to sleep, which was handy, as it would then have been very difficult to get him to sleep at the proper time. He just sat there watching the scenery go by through the side window of the car, looking very grown up.

One of Nathan's little buddies came to visit today. They had a great time. It's interesting to note how comparatively advanced Nathan's language skills are to his contemporaries.

We went to see Nanna today. Nathan had a sleep on the way there, which was just fine. He's still eating and drinking well, an average of a packet of crisps a day in fact.

We've got some old ping pong balls and Nathan loves to throw them and chase after them, or play catch with mum and dad. He's still not quite sure that it's fun to fetch them after throwing them out of the door though.
